After a hectic weekend,and a good Sunday sleep, Zee Mayet called me in the afternoon and told me about the soccer legends and the Liverpool legends that were playing Astro Soccer at Sandton Square. I decided to get there as quick as I could.
I was not sorry. Seeing the greats like Jan Molby,Ronnie Whelan,Gary Gilespie, Phil Thompson,Micheal Thomas, Bruce Grobbelaar, Nigel Spackman,Michael Thomas, Viv Anderson, avis MAy and many others was indeed a priviledge. They Still Got it. After a while I met Cisse who is a staunch member of the Kop.Autographs were going to be tough. Anyway me and Cisse went to the gates and the “THE THEORY OF THE KLEEPAH” proved 100% DEAD ON. IMAGINE THAT! Anyway we went round and all of a sudden THOMPSON yelled “Cisse,is that YOU!”
NEXT THING you know Swoosh0018.com were in V.I.P courtesy of my man Cisse.The pictures tell the story.
We met many of the lads.They were down to Earth and we chatted about Footie and 2010. Awesome if you a Liverpool Fan
I was lucky to get a pic with Andre Arendse, David Nyhati & Eric Tinkler. I spoke to Andre about his experiences.Very enlightening. All I had to do was just sing teh Italian Anthem.I felt like I was posing for a team shot before kICK OFF
Cisse pulled out one of the Legendry Liverpool kits.Here Phil Thompson signs for Cisse
This was supposed to be Gary Girlespi.Bad Photo.Cisse was in form
Me and Micheal Thomas.What a oke.Had a brief chat to him also
Cisse and Rhonnie Whelan. What a player. Cisse got some priceless Autographs
The Legends at Work.Liverpool Legends vs SA legends. Hows Shakes Kongwane.In the pic Jan Molby
The Wobbly legs. I met Bruce later on believe it or not at the Michaelangelo.Synonymous to that Incredible Night in Rome
A muslim lity that was displaying some sublime skills. His name is Abbas I think.We Youtubed a video of his skills at the bottom
lekker atmosphere
Myself and Swaar in the class of Mandela
Met up wuth Saadia.Team Member for the Charity Fun Day
Myself and Viv Anderson. Man Utd and England Full Back. Had to get an autograph for my Uncle Zahier Mayet who is the only Notts Forest Fan I know. It read “TO ZAHIER MAYET, TO THE GREATEST TEAM EVER,NOTTINGHAM FOREST. VIV ANDERSON”
This lity Abbas got some skill.Anyone know Him
Overall it was a great experience. The Kop owes will understand.Pity Ebie Jay and Mams were not there.Im sure Zee Mayet was.My battery freakin died after the VIP tour so I coudnt contact any of the lads. Fis Kopout. Does this beat Becks
At the ned of it all,I can say “BEEN THERE!DONE THAT! Thank you Cisse
